Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Powhatan, LA.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Certain facilities may also provide ways to get detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Powhatan is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
